Dev Update October 12, 2026

Visual Effects Now Show in Inventory Views

The Darkhaven team shared that visual effects now display in the inventory views, with a preview showing a character holding a glowing, fiery sword.

A short update from the official Darkhaven Discord this time.

Inventory and Character Display

The developers announced that they have got visual effects (VFX) working in the inventory views.

The accompanying GIF shows a character standing in what looks like the inventory screen, holding a sword in one hand. The blade carries a glowing, fiery effect that casts warm orange light onto the character. Small slot icons are visible along the left and right edges of the screen.

In practice, this means item effects like this glowing weapon can appear on the character model in the inventory screen, not just in normal gameplay. The developers didn’t share further details, such as which items have effects or when the change will reach players.
